Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally operating under the name 'Maajun', the French progressive ensemble鈥檚 self-titled release on the esteemed Saravah label integrates quirky avant-jazz and folk instrumentation. Driven by Jean-Louis Mahjun's violin and mandolin work, the band maintains a playful, pastoral approach within the increasingly complex European underground.
